    Forget finding the area of a heart shape, give first year math students luxury apartments to integrate.

      (I actually did get a question asking me to integrate over a drawing of a heart on a first year calculus final, it was the hardest question by far and students were mad.)

        While calculas is a removed (love-hate relationship) I think this isn’t really a good critique of capitalism when considering urban planning. Space is also a limited resource which any city (regardless of politics) has to consider. See the other comment I wrote in this thread, maybe I have missed a point.

    Sorry for being stupid, but where is the calculus? I’m only seeing a 3D drawing of an apartment. Was calculus needed to create this picture somehow?

      I’m guessing calculas refers to integration of curves to find area for floor space which is maybe required for some guidelines to find min/Max space requirements for specific rooms.

      Soviets also calculated floor area when designing affordable housing after the war (when there was no infrastructure) so this post is fairly redundant.
